Poetry Book: Songs from the Heart [COMPLETED]

depression & chronic pain

Locked away, kept isolated
The world inside left so desolated
I scream, I cry, I beg, I plead
But no one ever hears me
Claws rip into my flesh and bone
Tearing me apart and leaving me alone
A single fire flickers out
Within my soul, left in doubt

Under lock and key,
They break me
Leaving me so broken and scared
And no one even dared
To set me free of this hellish landscape
Nothing can save me from this hell I've made
But I scream and thrash and beg for help
I feel something shatter within myself

Depression lingers in my every cell
Nothing more can help me, now
The voices drag me down, down, down ....
The claws dig in and draw my blood
It comes out in a great, terrible flood
A glow from within my heart and soul
Extinguishes as the world crushes me, blow-for-blow

Darkness sets in, a roaring tide
The light fades and then it dies
I scream and cry, I beg and plead
But no one, not anyone, hears me
I'm screaming in silence
Drowning in open air
And no one sees, no one cares

Claws dig at me, my heart, my soul
Fiery ruination wraps around my body
The pain that glistens red and gold
Blood flows through my burning veins
Nothing is gained
But much has been lost
Now nothing's the same as its once been
And I'm suffocating, dying within

I beg for you to shatter me
To break me apart and destroy my heart
My soul begs for release
In this darkened place, I scream
Again and again, I try to break free
But nothing can ever, ever save me
